IceCube 发现了一个未解决的各向同性中微子通量，介于 10 TeV 和 8 PeV 之间。通常假设这种通量源自河外，并与宇宙射线源相关。迄今为止，尚未与一类对象建立明确的关联。 HAWC 是一座位于墨西哥中部运行的极高能（VHE，或 $\gtrsim$100 GeV）伽马射线天文台。 HAWC 研究了整个天空的 2/3 ($\sim8~sr)$。我们利用这项调查来寻找光学稀薄的宇宙射线和中微子源，负责 IceCube 的观测。我们编写了中微子源宇宙学特性的模拟 FIRESONG，以表明在某些条件下，HAWC 应该观测多个中微子源。然而，HAWC 在 760 天的生命周期内只探测到了 2 个河外天体：Mrk 421 和 Mrk 501。河外天空中探测到的源的这种缺陷可以用来限制中微子源的特性，例如它们在本地宇宙中的密度。 HAWC 限制最多的情况是源密度没有变化，其中对于 IceCube 尚未排除的情况，至少应该检测到 8 个物体。
IceCube has discovered an unresolved and isotropic flux of neutrinos between 10 TeV and 8 PeV. Extragalactic origin for this flux is usually assumed, as well as a correlation with the sources of cosmic rays. To date, no clear association with a class of objects has been made. HAWC is a very-high-energy (VHE, or $\gtrsim$100 GeV) gamma ray observatory in operation in central Mexico. HAWC has studied 2/3 of the entire sky ($\sim8~sr)$. We use this survey to search for optically thin sources of cosmic rays and neutrinos, responsible for IceCube's observations. We have written a simulation of the cosmological properties of neutrino sources, FIRESONG, to show that under certain conditions, HAWC should be observing multiple sources. However, HAWC has only detected 2 extragalactic objects in 760 days of livetime: Mrk 421 and Mrk 501. This deficiency of detected sources in the extragalactic sky can be used to constrain the properties of neutrino sources, such as their density in the local universe. The case HAWC restricts the most is for no evolution in the density of sources, in which at least 8 objects should have been detected for the cases not excluded already by IceCube.
